DeVry to Offer Nursing Scholarships

Chamberlain College of Nursing, LLC, which is a unit of DeVry Inc. , has recently declared that it will offer Honoree Scholarships to more than 35,000 DAISY (Diseases Attacking the Immune System) Award nurses.

The DAISY Foundation is a non-profit institution that recognizes nurses with extraordinary dedication and skills and awards them The DAISY Faculty Award. The scholarships from Chamberlain College of Nursing help these talented nurses to further pursue their profession through programs and grants for nursing research.

Through the scholarships offered by Chamberlain College of Nursing, eligible DAISY Award nurses will be offered an education partner tuition rate for Chamberlain’s Registered Nurse (RN) to Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) online degree completion option, RN-BSN to Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) online option, MSN degree program, Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree program and graduate certificates. The scholarship program will come into effect from Chamberlain’s new session commencing Jul 8, 2013.

Despite overall decline in revenues in third quarter 2013, DeVry's Medical and Healthcare segments witnessed strong revenue growth on the back of increasing demand for medical courses.

Like DeVry, another education company Capella Education Company (CPLA - Free Report) have been witnessing year-over-year decline in revenues due to volatile enrollment growth for the past few quarters.

As such, DeVry has been making efforts to boost enrollment, which resulted in better quality enquiries and improved conversion and retention rates. The company also invests in scholarships in order to support students to achieve their academic goals. In fiscal 2013, the company expects its scholarships to be in the low $50 million range, up from $42 million in fiscal 2012.

At the center of everything we do is a strong commitment to independent research and sharing its profitable discoveries with investors. This dedication to giving investors a trading advantage led to the creation of our proven Zacks Rank stock-rating system. Since 1988 it has more than doubled the S&P 500 with an average gain of +25% per year. These returns cover a period from 1988-2017. Zacks Rank stock-rating system returns are computed monthly based on the beginning of the month and end of the month Zacks Rank stock prices plus any dividends received during that particular month. A simple, equally-weighted average return of all Zacks Rank stocks is calculated to determine the monthly return. The monthly returns are then compounded to arrive at the annual return. Only Zacks Rank stocks included in Zacks hypothetical portfolios at the beginning of each month are included in the return calculations. Zack Ranks stocks can, and often do, change throughout the month. Certain Zacks Rank stocks for which no month-end price was available, pricing information was not collected, or for certain other reasons have been excluded from these return calculations.
